Objective:To explore the correlation between renal function and abdominal aortic hemodynamic parameters based on four-dimensional flow(4D Flow) MRI in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods:A cross-section prospective study was conducted on 73 patients diagnosed with CKD at First People′s Hospital of Changzhou between March 2021 and May 2023, as well as 13 volunteers without kidney injury. According to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the subjects were divided into CKD 1-3 stage group ( n=34), CKD 4-5 stage group ( n=39), and control group ( n=13). All subjects underwent 4D Flow MRI examination of the abdominal aorta, measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV), peak velocity, and maximum wall shear stress (WSS) at the proximal plane (Plane_1) and the higher renal artery opening plane (Plane_2) of the abdominal aorta. The differences in 4D Flow MRI hemodynamic parameters among the three groups were compared using a one-way analysis of variance or the Kruskal-Wallis test. The correlation between 4D Flow MRI hemodynamic parameters and eGFR was analyzed by using the Spearman correlation coefficient. The independent influencing factors that affect eGFR were analyzed by using multivariate linear regression analysis. Results:There were significant differences in abdominal aortic PWV and maximal WSS of Plane_1 and Plane_2 among the three groups ( H=10.38, P=0.006; F=11.16, P<0.001; F=4.75, P=0.011). There were no significant differences in the peak velocity of Plane_1 and Plane_2 among the three groups (both P>0.05). Abdominal aortic PWV was negatively correlated with eGFR ( r s=-0.30, P=0.005). There was a positive correlation between the maximal WSS of Plane_1 and Plane_2 with eGFR ( r s=0.39, P<0.001; r s=0.29, P=0.006). Abdominal aortic PWV and maximal WSS of Plane_1 were independent influencing factors of eGFR (b=-4.32, P=0.018; b=132.23, P=0.004). Conclusions:There is an independent correlation between renal function and abdominal aortic hemodynamic parameters based on 4D Flow MRI in patients with CKD, and abdominal aortic PWV and maximal WSS of Plane_1 were independent influencing factors of eGFR.

Neuropathic pain(NP)is a type of chronic pain caused by damage or disease of the nervous system.It is mainly characterized by spontaneous pain,hyperalgesia,and allodynia,which seriously af-fect the quality of life of patients.The pathogenesis of NP is complex,involving abnormal regulation such as peripheral sensitization,central sensitization,ion channel changes,and glial cell activation.In recent years,the role of m6A in NP has attracted extensive attention.However,the research on the role of m6A modification in different diseases and pain models is still limited.Therefore,it is particularly important to clarify the role of m6A modification in different diseases and pain models.This article reviews the re-search progress on the role and mechanism of m6A methylation modification in the pathogenesis of NP in recent years,especially the role mechanism of the five classical m6A modification factors,METTL3,METTL14,FTO,ALKBH5 and YTHDF1,in mediating the formation of NP in different diseases and pain models,with the expectation of providing new insights and ideas for the drug development and pre-vention of NP from the perspective of m6A modification.

BACKGROUND: The association between uric acid-albumin ratio (UAR) with different diseases has been evaluated before. However, the association between UAR with spontaneous reperfusion (SR) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been explored. METHODS: STEMI patients admitted to our department and underwent primary coronary angiography between 1^st November 2018 and 31^st December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. The patients were divided into the SR group and the non-SR group according to the index coronary angiography results. The association between UAR and SR was evaluated by uni-variable and multi-variable logistic analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the optimum cut-off level of UAR in predicting SR. RESULTS: Three hundred and fifty-seven patients were finally enrolled in our study, 55 patients were divided into the SR group and 302 patients were divided into the non-SR group. In uni-variable analysis, patients with SR were older (P = 0.032), with higher red blood cell distribution width (P < 0.001) and red blood cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio (P < 0.001), higher level of C-reactive protein (P = 0.046), higher level of uric acid (P < 0.001) compared with patients without SR. Patients with SR had a lower level of platelets (P = 0.008), lower level of on-admission B-type natriuretic peptide (P < 0.001). As for the level of UAR, STEMI patients with SR had significantly higher levels of UAR compared with STEMI patients without SR [11.1 (8.9-13.4) vs. 8.3 (6.6-10.0), P < 0.001]. Further multi-variable logistic analysis reveals that UAR was the independent risk factor of SR in different models after adjusting different variables. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that UAR had good predictive value in SR (AUC = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.702-0.794, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that UAR is an independent risk factor for predicting SR in STEMI patients.

Delirium is a common cause and complication of hospitalization in the elderly and is associated with higher risk of future dementia and progression of existing dementia, of which 70% is Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD and delirium, which are known to be aggravated by one another, represent significant societal challenges, especially in light of the absence of effective treatments. The intricate biological mechanisms have led to numerous clinical trial setbacks and likely contribute to the limited efficacy of existing therapeutics. Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a promising avenue for overcoming these hurdles by deploying algorithms to uncover hidden patterns across diverse data types. This review explores the pivotal role of AI in revolutionizing drug discovery for AD and delirium from target identification to the development of small molecule and protein-based therapies. Recent advances in deep learning, particularly in accurate protein structure prediction, are facilitating novel approaches to drug design and expediting the discovery pipeline for biological and small molecule therapeutics. This review concludes with an appraisal of current achievements and limitations, and touches on prospects for the use of AI in advancing drug discovery in AD and delirium, emphasizing its transformative potential in addressing these two and possibly other neurodegenerative conditions.

Objective To establish a stable,reliable,and clinically relevant porcine model of endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Ten 8-month-old male Bama minipigs were deeply sedated,followed by invasive mechanical ventilation and electrocardiographic monitoring.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was intravenously pumped at 600 μg/(kg·h)for 3 hours,then maintained at 15 μg/(kg·h)thereafter.Dynamic monitoring was performed at five time points after LPS injection(LPS 0,1,3,5,and 8 h),including arterial blood gas analysis and chest computed tomography(CT)scans.Pathological examination of lung tissues obtained via bronchoscopic biopsy(HE staining and transmission electron microscopy)was conducted.These indicators were comprehensively used to evaluate the success of the animal model.Results At 5 hours after LPS administration,8 minipigs developed symptoms such as skin cyanosis,elevated body temperature,and respiratory distress.The oxygenation index decreased to<300 mmHg.Chest CT scans showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.Histopathology revealed alveolar edema and hyaline membrane formation.Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated disruption of pulmonary blood-air barrier,depletion of lamellar bodies in type Ⅱ pneumocytes,inflammatory cell infiltration,and exudation of plasma proteins and fibrin.Compared with LPS 0 h,at LPS 8 h,the oxygenation index and arterial blood pH were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while blood lactic acid and serum potassium were significantly increased(P<0.05);serum calcium and base excess were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the lung injury score based on HE-stained lung sections was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion The porcine ARDS model established by continuous LPS injection can dynamically simulate the pathophysiological characteristics and typical pathological manifestations of clinical septic ARDS,making it an effective tool to study the pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment strategies of septic ARDS.

Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27％.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38％.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66％to 2.35％.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65％.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66％),followed by the urinary tract(12.94％),surgical site(9.32％),upper respiratory tract(7.02％),and bloodstream infection(5.78％).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02％),department of neurosurgery(5.51％),and department(group)of hematology(5.34％).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10％)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33％),Escherichia coli(12.79％),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23％),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88％).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71％.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18％.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46％.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum circularRNA-HOMER1(circHOMER1),microRNA(miR)-23a-3p levels with clinical stages and oxidative stress in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods From January 2023 to July 2024,75 DR patients treated in Handan Central Hospital were included as the DR group.According to the clinical staging of DR,they were divided into non proliferative DR(NPDR group,n=43)and proliferative DR(PDR group,n=32).In addition,75 patients with simple type 2 diabetes who came to Handan Central Hospital were included as non DR group.The levels of serum circHOMER1,miR-23a-3p,malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and reduced glutathione(GSH)were detect-ed.Clinical data of the subjects were collected.The TargetScan website was used to predict the targeting relationship between circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p.Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum circHOMER1,miR-23a-3p and MDA,SOD,GSH.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of progression of DR in type 2 diabetes patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)carve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p in the progression of DR in patients with type 2 diabetes.Results There was a targeted relationship between circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p.The serum MDA(28.66±4.52ng/ml)and circHOMER1(1.24±0.16)levels in the DR group were higher than those in the non DR group(16.95±3.27ng/ml,1.02±0.11),while SOD(45.39±7.84U/L),GSH(135.82±21.23μg/mL)and miR-23a-3p(0.88±0.07)levels were lower than those in the non DR group(81.65±11.47U/L,207.44±25.95μg/mL,1.01±0.09),and differences were statistically significant(t=9.813～22.602,all P<0.001).The serum MDA(33.28±4.96ng/ml)and circHOMER1(1.36±0.20)levels in the PDR group were higher than those in the NPDR group(25.23±3.58ng/ml,1.15±0.17),while SOD(34.39±7.15U/L),GSH(113.50±20.17μg/ml)and miR-23a-3p(0.79±0.07)levels were lower than those in the NPDR group(53.27±8.44U/L,152.43±23.99μg/ml,0.94±0.08),and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.906～10.376,all P<0.001).Spearman analysis showed that serum MDA and circHOMER1 were positively correlated with the severity of DR(r=0.533,0.473,all P<0.001),while SOD,GSH,miR-23a-3p were negatively correlated with the severity of DR(r=-0.552,-0.515,-0.529,all P<0.001).Pearson analysis showed that serum circHOMER1 was negatively correlated with miR-23a-3p,SOD,GSH,and positively correlated with MDA(r=-0.475,-0.460,-0.455,0.462,all P<0.001).Serum miR-23a-3p was positively correlated with SOD and GSH,and negatively correlated with MDA(r=0.428,0.437,-0.439,all P<0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that high MDA,low SOD,low GSH,high circHOMER1,low miR-23a-3p,high FPG and high HbA1c were the risk factors of progression of DR in type 2 diabetes patients(OR=0.214～3.556,all P<0.05).The area under curve(AUC)of serum circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p alone and jointhy predicting the progression of DR in type 2 diabetes patients were 0.751,0.797 and 0.903 respectively.The combined prediction was higher than that of serum circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p alone(Z=3.179,2.335,P=0.002,0.020).Conclusion Serum MDA and circHOMER1 levels are higher in DR patients,while serum SOD,GSH and miR-23a-3p levels are lower.Abnormal expression of circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p in serum is associated with progression of DR and oxidative stress.Combined detection of circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p in serum can predict the progression of DR in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective To explore the current status and influencing factors of heart failure occurrence in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and to provide a scientific basis for developing individualized prevention and treatment strategies. Methods A total of 310 patients with UAP admitted to the Fifth People's Hospital from October 2021 to October 2024 were selected as study subjects. The current status of the patients' heart failure was statistically analyzed, and the patients were divided into heart failure group and non-heart failure group according to whether they had heart failure. Univariate and logistic multivariate regression analyses were used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of heart failure in patients with UAP. Results Among the 310 patients with UAP, 63 cases had heart failure, with an incidence rate of 20.32%. After logistic multivariate analysis, it was found that diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, number of coronary artery lesions, homocysteine and plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels were risk factors of heart failure in patients with UAP, and hemoglobin level was a protective factor (OR: 2.010, 95%CI: 1.063-3.800; OR: 4.495, 95%CI: 2.228-9.067; OR: 2.408, 95%CI: 1.256-4.617; OR: 3.655, 95%CI: 1.812-7.372; OR: 4.693, 95%CI: 2.622-8.399; OR: 0.359, 95%CI: 0.205-0.628, P<0.05). Conclusion The coronary heart disease risk of heart failure is high in patients with UAP, and is affected by comorbidities, number of coronary artery lesions, homocysteine, and plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels. It is necessary to perform clinical screening and pay attention to such patients, and take active prevention and control interventions.
